Are the photos of the actual scales? Or are these representative only?

I ask because I assume "Aberdeen" refers to the jigging style, and that while they may be a little different in overall appearance, the mahogany and sunset are jigged very similarly. It's the dye and slight difference in the non-jigged spaces that give mahogany a different look than sunset. I also see the Aberdeen uses two columns of shorter grooves, while the mahogany uses one column of longer grooves to create the pattern.

I definitely could be wrong though.

Stock photos from the vendors site...I think they are the "same" jigging pattern just supposed to be different dyes.
 
Here's a Camco that I did. Although smaller, it's a similar pattern to the radio knife. This one has amber richmond bone, the amber is close to the mahogany. Just a pic for fun.

Taylor,
Wow, tough decision, all three are equally nice.
I like the Stag Bone the best, because it would have a neat traditional look.
The nice thing about bone versus natural stag is that it's more uniform end to end.
The other two choices would be a nifty, cool, casual look.
I am looking forward to the " after " photos. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Glen,
GREAT LOOKING WORK on the Camco.
 
I voted for the csb depending on the jigging as others have mentioned. But whatever you decide you can't go wrong with Glen's work.
 
I voted for the Carved Stag Bone but I am glad that the Sunset Aberdeen Bone
has the most votes because it would something unique and REALLY COOL.
 
Whatever you choose and you and Glen settle on, perhaps you could post the finished knife here so we all can see her?.
 
I voted right away for the carved stag bone, but I thought you needed a bump to page one for some good holiday weekend traffic!

You just won't get tired of that classic stag look! Well, I wouldn't anyway...:)
